Box repair

Hooked up my subs the other day and got a little carried away with the bass. Or it could be the box being ten years old/a pre-existing problem...either way, the seal between the plastic ports in the back of the box and the box itself are shot to hell. Any suggestions on how to reattach things?

I was thinking gorilla glue the ports to the box and then using a silicone to fill the gap and seal the box. Good idea?

P.S.: Plastic ports, MDF box.

use pvc glue on the ports if there are multiple port pieces that are broken. screws on the box and possibly port and silicone to seal small gaps

see if you can find out exactly what is and isnt broken and fix from there. alot of times a broken box is broken and no way to bring it back to original status

You might just want to go with new ports depending on how damaged yours are.
There fairly cheap

The ports themselves appear to be fine, just loose from the box, which is unsealing the box. I'm gonna actually take the subs out tomorrow and see how things look from the inside.
